A social agency and its beauty-retail client

Reports

Monthly brand reports, a quarterly review, a sentiment read against its main rival

Cadence

Monthly, with a quarterly review

How long

January to October 2026

The challenge

The client wanted one read a month on what its audience asked for, how they felt, and what its content gave them, against its main rival, and a say in what the next one covers.

What the department delivered

  1. Every month

    Monthly brand report

    A one-page summary, then Reddit, sentiment, organic, sentiment against organic, secondary handles, retail and holiday, and six moves.

  2. Every quarter

    Quarterly review

    The second-quarter review went out in three rounds: an initial read, a detailed one and a revision.

  3. September

    Against the main rival

    A sentiment read set against the main rival’s organic social.

  4. After each one

    The client edits the scope

    The client writes what to keep, what to cut down and what to add for next month.

What the reports found

+71 to −13

net sentiment from August to September, as a creator backlash took 35% of comments.

84%

of “where do I buy this” questions sat under posts that never said where.

27 vs 13

holiday posts for the main rival against the brand.

What the client received

  • A monthly brand report: a one-page summary, then Reddit, sentiment, organic, sentiment against organic, secondary handles, retail and holiday, and six moves
  • A quarterly review in three rounds: an initial read, a detailed one and a revision
  • A sentiment read against the main rival’s organic social
  • A scope for each next month, edited by the client

The outcome

The client keeps the report running month after month and shapes each next one itself.
